Depends, who is defining what is politically correct?

"politically correct" is an emotionally charged word. it's like lumping people who support equal rights and absolute morons who make no meaningful contribution to society while claiming to be "progressive" together when in reality, they couldn't be more different. so if by "politically correct" you mean idpol shit, then yeah, no. but if you mean progressivism in general, then yeah. even east germany recognized homosexuality.

Whoever voted yes I am open for an argument

I voted yes because it is a false dichotomy and it is very anti-dialectical to pose it as a yes/no question. It will always depend on the context on how you should interact with others. I'm opposed to extreme forms of PC where it will stifle an honest debate but in favour of treating others with basic decency. Framing it as a dichotomy is in my experience usually a right-wing tactic to make using racial slurs more acceptable, which in term divides the working class, which is why I voted yes.

Accepting of trans, gay, and colored comrades? Absolutely.
Fighting against them is doing what the bourgeoisie want; fighting other members of the proletariat instead of them.
If we're going to create a more equitable society, there's no point stopping half-way.
how is being politically incorrect fighting anyone? Political correctness is a form of censorship.
You can argue for LGBT (I personally disagree but whatever) but please don't put them in the same basket as ethnic struggles.
I do not believe "queer struggle" (sexual hedonism with no sense of responsibility) is an intrinsically proletarian one in nature and coincidentally almost all AES countries criminalised homosexuality during their revolutionary peaks. The GDR, the most liberal of all Eastern Block countries only decriminalised it and everywhere in the USSR family values were promoted in education.
